My thoughts:

Faeries! I agreed to read and review this book because I love faeries! Stay is about a "human girl" who was taken from her home in the middle of the night by Brokk, a very attractive fae guard of the tyrant queen fae.

Callie, the main character learns that she's actually a princess in the fae world. According to Brokk, she is summoned by the queen fae to formally introduce her to her people. It was too late when they realize that the queen wanted to kill her (and her parents) because of the prophecy, that Callie will become a great ruler someday and that she will free the faeries from the tyrant queen. I liked the story. It was a very fast read, I enjoyed it especially the twist in the story.

The only thing I didn't like was the ending of this book. This is a series and I wished the author wrote a different ending of the book 1.
If you are so into fae world, get a copy of this book!

About the book:

Callie is shocked when she is ripped from her home in the middle of the night. She is taken to a city that she never knew existed only to find that she has a strange connection to her sexy captor. To top it all off, he tries to convince her that she is not even human. She learns that she is actually a fairy. Not just any fairy, but a fairy who has been destined to become queen of the fairies. The only problem is that the current queen is a cruel tyrant and Callie will have to fight for the title that she was meant for. She is not completely convinced that this is a life that she wants to live. She would love nothing more than to go back to being the normal human girl that she always thought that she was. When tragedy strikes, Callie finds that she no longer knows who she can trust. She must learn to survive on her own in a harsh underground world. She finds herself dealing with the struggles of life and love for the first time. Two gorgeous guys, a bunch of new friends, and a whole new world. Will it be more than she can bear?

About the author:

I am C.C. Jackson, I am an Indie Writer and the author of Stay, a paranormal romance novel for young adults.

In case you were wondering, I have been married to an awesome guy for almost 13 years. I have three not so little boys. They range in age from 10 to 18. They have been my biggest inspiration in my writing. From watching the three of them and their friends grow up, I have been able to dream up all sorts of wonderful things.

I love reading. I would spend my entire life with my nose in a book if I could. I am partial to romance and suspense, but I will read almost anything.

I hate to clean, especially the dishes. My husband is a way better cook than me. I am a recovering Coca Cola addict. I crave it ALL the time, but I am trying to avoid it. Read more here
